The faculty and students of Obuda University have reached another milestone in the international Greenqual research project: between 21-25 July, for a whole week, microclimate measurements were carried out at several locations, recording temperature, relative humidity, air quality, wind patterns and lighting intensity.

The main objective of the work was to collect real environmental data on the status quo of the current summer heat island effect and to obtain raw material for the validation of future urban simulations. Within each target area, several measurement points were assigned and measurements were taken for half an hour. On average, we repeated this process 4-7 times within a target area, creating a more accurate and reliable database.

Measurement campaign locations:

Városliget - Sunbathing area
Péterfy Sándor street
Blaha Lujza square
Andrássy avenue
Kopaszi dike

In addition to the measurements taken by the fixed stations, continuous thermal imagery was also recorded, providing additional valuable information for the research.

Thank you for the enthusiastic work and commitment of all participants!

GreenQual: Investigating the role of green spaces in improving climate change adaptability, water, soil and air quality in dense urban areas is a project co-funded by the European Interest Group (EIG), CONCERT-Japan and the Hungarian NKFI under grant number 2024-1.2.2-ERA_NET-2024-00006.
